Variety reportsBlack Panther is on track to shatter the record held by previous President’s Day weekend opening champ Deadpool. Black Panther is projected to earn $210 million from 4,020 North American locations, topping Deadpool‘s 2016 $152 million mark. Previous estimates for how Black Panther would do financially have been continuously bumped up with predictions clearly underestimating the might of a Ryan Coogler Marvel film with a spectacular cast and something different to offer audiences than your standard MCU affair. It doesn’t hurt that fans have seen their lofty expectations exceeded by the superhero movie.
